Pricey single from Whole Paycheck. Thought it was a typo after I checked my receipt. Speaking of typos, 8.9% abv on the label but everywhere on the internet says 14%. It drinks closer to the 8%. Hazy peachy, watermelon or a sort a pink lemonade color. A lightly fizzy, whatever pour. Rose water, muscadine, tart & twangy apple juice nose. Watermelon, wax, tart berries, sour apple, sweet vinegar, lingering earthy bite, lightly sulfited tail. Very mild & approachable funk underneath the strong acid. Waxy texture, juicy, thin & very tart, warming belly & a bit of fogginess. Maybe skewed a bit too sour but the flavor is good. Forget about the price & it's suddenly great.
